Gilead's HIV Dominance and Growing Oncology Portfolio Support a Wide Moat

Karen Andersen

Gilead Sciences generates stellar profit margins with its HIV and hepatitis C virus, or HCV, portfolio, which requires only a small salesforce and inexpensive manufacturing. We think its portfolio and pipeline support a wide moat, but Gilead needs HCV market stabilization, strong continued innovation in HIV, solid pipeline data, and smart future acquisitions to return to growth.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Gilead markets several single-tablet regimens for HIV, and its next-generation products with better long-term safety profiles, led by Biktarvy, are boosting the company's market share.

Bears

Biktarvy's success creates a patent cliff in 2033, and it could be difficult to improve on this daily HIV drug regimen.

Company Profile

Gilead Sciences develops and markets therapies to treat life-threatening infectious diseases, with the core of its portfolio focused on HIV and hepatitis B and C. The acquisitions of Corus Pharma, Myogen, CV Therapeutics, Arresto Biosciences, and Calistoga have broadened this focus to include pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Gilead's acquisition of Pharmasset brought rights to hepatitis C drug Sovaldi, which is also part of combination drug Harvoni, and the Kite, Forty Seven, and Immunomedics acquisitions boost Gilead's exposure to cell therapy and noncell therapy in oncology.
